Ok, that’s it, I’m moving Fine Sweeper to Beaten.
Today I've finally beaten level 50, which unlocks the last progress-related achievement; thus I'm missing only two, very-grinding, achievements:
Step on 5000 bombs (progress: 1660/5000) and Flag 50,000 bombs (progress: 16577/50000).
Played lot of Minesweeper back in the day (all of those Windows games, to be fair) so I didn't have any problem playing this game. Reached level 40 in a breeze and then started to slow down; not because of a sudden spike of difficulty but because I'm used to play keeping track of the bombs only with my mind instead of flagging them (to put a flag where you think a bomb is), and the more you progress, the more the bombs per level, so it became difficult to keep track without errors; once I started using the flags, my march forward resumed.
I don't think you'll enjoy it if you aren't in good terms with Minesweeper.. there's to say though, that Fine Sweeper has multiple lives and "recently" they've also added power-ups (don't ask, tried once-twice and didn't really get what was going on so I never used them again) so this could be a good chance to learn the game, as these additions make it easier than the original, since you're allowed to make errors. (or not, I sometimes was disoriented by the changes a bomb's explosion made)
As I was saying, I'm considering it beaten; I cannot afford to spend to many hours over a short lapse of time on this.. I may seldomly come back to it and play/grind some levels hoping to unlock those achievements, but mostly to enjoy playing; no chance I'll just grind boring myself to death, backlog's huge, not like years ago when I had only those few games to play =P

Nice update, game looks interesting. I never thought they made a “new version” of Minesweeper.

I know it’s probably not any comfort but if you think those are grindy you should check out Death Goats Vengeful God achievement :)
Ugh, yes, skip the grinding achievements. I wish I did :P
